“Never in the history of the world have the means for imparting information been conducted on such an extensive and magnificent scale as at the present time [like now in the technological age of the internet and mobile phones]; yet never have the masses been more ignorant of their real condition, or more mystified as to the real cause of their afflictions [like now in the nascent 21st century].” (Sarah E.

Introduction

–The Ruling Establishments’ Suppression Of Vitamin C Against Covid-19 Coronavirus Is Not Proof Of The Vitamin’s Ineffectiveness But Proof Of The Authorities’ Psychopathy

“Above all it is essential to refer to things by their correct names. If things are not referred to by their correct names, then our language will not reflect reality. If our language does not reflect reality, then our actions will not reflect reality, and will be exercises in futility.” (Confucius, 551-479 BC, Chinese Teacher ^[22])

“If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” (George Orwell, 1903-1950, English Political Author & Culture Critic, in “The Freedom Of The Press”, Orwell’s proposed preface to his novel ‘Animal Farm’, 1945)

“[…] perhaps two of the most important healthy practices of all time […] are –always do the right thing, and help one another.” (Jim Humble, Author, in 2016 ^[23])

Approximately a year ago, near the end of June of 2020, I’ve read a comment in response to an article authored by, and published in, the “BMJ” (formerly known as the “British Medical Journal”) ^[24] that caught my attention.

The BMJ, regarded by the cognoscente as one the world’s most prestigious medical journals, allows the submission of “rapid responses”. Those are e-letters sent in to them in response to their published works. Physicians, scientists, eclectic medical experts, or erudite individuals commonly submit commentaries. If approved by the journal’s “rapid response” editor(s), these letter responses get published within a certain period of time from the date of the principal works’ publication.

The person whose post caught my interest elaborated on the promising theoreticalreasons for the potentially beneficial use of vitamin C for the “new” Covid-19 coronavirus ^[318] (also misleadinglyparroted as the “China virus” or “Wuhan virus”) that’s putatively causing the Covid-19 malady ^[25]. The BMJ’s piece is on the divers pharmaceutical drug treatments that are being investigated for Covid-19 (also referred to as CV-19) ^[24].

Upon reading that comment I immediately thought that sound practical-clinicalevidence thereof already exists and that I must inform the commentary’s author, the BMJ, and its voluminous readers about it due to its potentially life-saving informational merit.

So, I decided to put together my own rapid response that underscores the important empirical knowledge of the value of vitamin C against the CV-19 disease and submit it.

On 5-July-2020 I sent in my commentary to the BMJ. Unfortunately, the BMJ made the decision not to publish it ^[26].

What follows (within starred bold brackets [***], in green color) is the exact text of my ditched BMJ rapid response:

Title: Vitamin C For Covid-19 Backed By EMPIRICAL Evidence

Dear Editor,

This is in response to Saeed Ahmad’s commentary from 22-June-2020:

Specifically, I’m addressing his positive arguments in support of vitamin C in the treatment of Covid-19.

Apart from vitamin C’s THEORETICAL potential described by Mr. Ahmad here in this BMJ rendition (and by others elsewhere ^[1,2]), we do have powerful EMPIRICAL evidence of the merit of proper vitamin C therapy in the fight against this new Covid-19 coronavirus.

Since February of 2020, the ‘Orthomolecular Medicine News Service’ (OMNS), a not-for-profit health organization, has regularly reported on vitamin C’s highly beneficial CLINICAL application in moderate to severe Covid-19 patients by numerous licensed doctors and healthcare professionals in China and South Korea ^[2-6].

In the US several physicians, too, have used vitamin C to treat Covid-19 with excellent results ^[6,7]. For example, some American physicians treated nearly a hundred Covid-19 patients with vitamin C therapy (along with other nutritional supplements) and not a single patient died ^[8]. Some US hospital have also used vitamin C treatments against Covid-19, reporting impressive benefits ^[9,10]. Even a conventional allopathic US medical school strongly recommends the usage of adequate vitamin C treatment against Covid-19 ^[11].

However, this vital data and knowledge has been broadly suppressed by the mainstream news media, social media outlets, Google’s ‘YouTube’ channel ^[3,6,12,13], and the transnational state-medical establishment (the organized medicine-government collusion syndicate, which includes, among others, the authoritative US ‘Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’ (CDC), the US ‘National Institutes of Health’ (NIH), the US ‘Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the ‘Federal Trade Commission’ (FTC), and the ‘World Health Organization’ (WHO)) ^[6,12,13].

Worse, licensed holistic physicians who treated many Covid-19 patients with great success are silenced and ordered by the US authorities (e.g., the FTC) to stop using vitamin C against Covid-19 because there’s no “competent and reliable scientific evidence” that vitamin C (and other dietary supplements and natural medicines) is effective against Covid-19^[14].

So, the legally nailed down “justification” or “rationalization” proffered by the coercive irrational US state-medical industrial complex for its sweeping acts of vitamin C suppression is that it matters not if we DEMONSTRABLY have an inexpensive, safe and effective Covid-19 remedy because there’s no available true scientific research proof thereof yet ^[14].

Saved or cured real-life Covid-19 patients constitute no such quality evidence per their absurd “legalized” logic. Saved lives do not count or matter first and foremost –what counts and matters first and foremost is dominant AUTHORITY-DEFINED, and not REALITY-VERIFIED, “competent and reliable scientific evidence” –EVEN during this allegedly highly precarious potentially humanity-dooming pandemic (hence, the officialdom-imposed totalitarian “emergency measures”: global unprecedented lockdowns, and the strict practices of “social distancing” and mask wearing), which the WHO called “the defining global health crisis of our time” ^[15].

It’s surreal. It’s absurd Medieval inhumanity.

The French 18th century historian and philosopher Voltaire (1694-1778) once described that:

“Those who you can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.”

And surely, those individuals or groups (e.g., bodies of authority) who can make you believe absurdities are the first people who can commit atrocities –and perhaps find a loyal sycophant in you to assist them in committing their atrocities.

Speaking of making you believe absurdities, do you honestly think any of these ruling authorities would follow this inhumane unconscionable precedence program if THEY had a moderate or serious case of Covid-19? But if YOU are a Covid-19 patient –EVEN A SEVERE COVID-19 PATIENT– they want YOU to obey to, comply with, and coerce you into, this absurd order of twisted priorities, blocking you from accessing this reality-backed therapeutic intervention, during this purported humanity-threatening pandemic.

Some scholars with knowledge about the research literature on vitamin C pointed out that:

“If someone tells you it’s not proven, consider two things: (1) Nothing is proven to work against Covid-19, because it is a NEW virus; (2) Vitamin C has worked against EVERY SINGLE VIRUS including influenzas, pneumonia, and even poliomyelitis.” ^[16] [emphasis added]

In section number 37 of the authoritative “Declaration of Helsinki” by the ‘World Medical Association’ (WMA) it states:

“In the treatment of an individual patient, WHERE PROVEN INTERVENTIONS DO NOT EXIST OR OTHER KNOWN INTERVENTIONS HAVE BEEN INEFFECTIVE, the physician, after seeking expert advice, with informed consent from the patient or a legally authorised representative, MAY USE AN UNPROVEN INTERVENTION IF IN THE PHYSICIAN’S JUDGEMENT IT OFFERS HOPE OF SAVING LIFE, RE-ESTABLISHING HEALTH OR ALLEVIATING SUFFERING.” ^[17] [emphasis added]

This is the case with the proper application of vitamin C for Covid-19.
